The 2.0T does get a different transmission than the 2.5L (6T70 vs 6T45). The 6T45 is rated at 232 lb-ft (engine) and the while the engine only makes 186 lb-ft at peak. There is definitely some safety margin there. For comparison, the L99 make 410 lb-ft peak and the 6L80 is only rated for 439 lb-ft. Many have taken their L99 Camaros well past 439 lb-ft without issue.
